Turtle by E.L.

​One day we received a gift it was such a wonderful thing
A small little turtle in a bucket of water
Our family was overwhelmed with gratitude and we wanted the turtle to feel the same..
We decided to clean an aquarium fill it with natural rocks, plants and, small feeder fish, then placed it within.
We purchased turtle pellets from the local pet store and everyday we watched our turtle friend.
We thought this aquarium was an upgrade from the bucket but there was a sadness that you could feel and see.
So after some time we released the turtle from its glass prison to a local pond it looked back at our family as to say thank you and we never seen it again.
